In the summer of 2006, the team were controversionally "taken over" to form a new club (Cullompton Rangers Ladies) 

Exeter City were determined to keep a Ladies team, therefore a City Ladies Centre of Excellence was set up by the Grecians to replace the now defunct Exeter City Ladies team.

The team were supported by the Supporters Trust who sponsored them by purchasing a brand new kit for the 2006/07, and in the development and maintenance of teams official website.


The Grecians had to start in the second division of the Westward Development League. Home games were to be played at St George V playing fields, off the Topsham Road.
The manager Steve McClear said "It was important that people know the Exeter City still have a ladies team".

An Under-21 women's international in November 2006 was arranged between England and France. Nearly 5000 fans turned up, at that time the U-21's were lucky to have crowds over 1500. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and Steph Houghton, scored for England. 

City's COE under 16's made up the majority of the squad.

The squad included :- Siobhan Aslett, Hannah Cox, Lola Sanchez, Kellie Hall, Emma Jones, Jodie Mills, Jenny Brasher, Sophie Anderson, Naomi Wilkins, Gabby Stoneman, Emma Mingo.

The season started with a spectacular set of results with 5 straight wins and 32 goals scored and only one conceded.

It was a very successful season. And proved to be the start of the club's rise up the pyramid, and by 2012 the new team was playing in the South West Combination under the management of Steve Tully.

Meanwhile at Cullompton Rangers LFC formerly  known as Exeter City L.F.C, were formally granted a name change by Devon FA in 2006. They played their home matches at Speeds Meadow, Cullompton, Devon.
In 2011 the club folded when the manager was forced to leave and a replacement could not be found.
